ChannelAdvisor Announces Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Total revenue of $16.6 million increases 28 percent year-over-year
Core revenue of $16.2 million increases 30 percent year-over-year

Research Triangle Park, NC - October 28, 2013 - ChannelAdvisor Corporation (NYSE: ECOM), a leading provider of cloud-based e-commerce solutions that enable retailers and manufacturers to increase global sales, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

“We delivered a strong third quarter performance as our solutions gained momentum in the marketplace,” said Scot Wingo, Chief Executive Officer of ChannelAdvisor. “We believe investments we have been making in our sales and marketing organization are having a clear impact on our results. During the third quarter we added 152 net new core customers, increasing core customer count by 21% from a year ago. At the same time, we are sharing in our customers’ success with a 12% increase in trailing twelve month revenue per core customer as compared to a year ago.”

“Much as our strong channel partner network helps us attract new customers, our growing customer base is a strong motivator for channel partners to join our network,” added Wingo. “We recently added support for Best Buy, Tesco, Amazon China, Amazon Japan and MercadoLibre in Brazil, which we expect to drive stronger international adoption in the years ahead. With a market that is still in its early stages of growth and continued investments in sales and marketing, we believe we are solidly positioned to capitalize on the significant long-term opportunity ahead of us.”

Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Total revenue of $16.6 million for the third quarter of 2013 increased 28 percent compared with revenue of $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Core revenue increased by 30 percent to $16.2 million from $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. The company’s method for calculating this and other key operating metrics that it reports is included later in this press release.
GAAP net loss was $(4.3) million compared with $(2.0) million in the third quarter of 2012. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.20), based on 21.6 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared with a basic and diluted net loss per share of $(1.68), based on 1.2 million weighted average shares outstanding in the year-ago period.
Non-GAAP net loss, which excludes the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, was $(3.8) million compared with $(1.9) million for the third quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP net loss per share was $(0.18), based on 21.6 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared with $(0.13), based on 14.6 million weighted average shares outstanding, for the third quarter of 2012. Per share figures for the third quarter of 2012 assume that the company’s pre-IPO preferred stock was converted to common stock at the beginning of the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA was $(2.4) million in the third quarter compared with $(0.6) million for the third quarter of 2012.
Cash at quarter end totaled $90.3 million, compared with $94.0 million at the end of the second quarter. The decrease was primarily due to expected investments in our long-term growth.

Recent Business Highlights
Added 152 net core customers in the third quarter. Total core customer count was 2,287 at the end of the third quarter, an increase of 21 percent from 1,896 core customers at the end of the third quarter of 2012.
Added new top-tier customers including Body Central, Claire's Accessories, Colony Brands, Inc., Elie Tahari, Godiva Chocolatier,Maxi-Muscle and Whirlpool.
Average revenue per core customer, calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis, increased 12 percent to $30,113 at the end of the third quarter, compared with $26,987 at the end of the third quarter of 2012.
Fixed subscription fees were 70 percent of total revenue and variable subscription fees were 30 percent of total revenue. This compares to 66 percent and 34 percent, respectively, in the third quarter of 2012.
Subscription dollar retention rate exceeded 100 percent for the quarter, consistent with recent performance.
Introduced the 2013 Autumn Release with several platform updates, new channels and geographies, enhanced mobile support and Actionable Retailer Insights, which offers relevant recommendations designed to help retailers bolster business.

Fourth Quarter 2013
Revenue between $19.6 million and $20.0 million.
GAAP net loss of $(0.34) per share to $(0.32) per share, based on approximately 22.0 million weighted average shares outstanding.
Non-GAAP net loss of $(0.31) per share to $(0.27) per share, based on approximately 22.0 million weighted average shares outstanding.
Adjusted EBITDA loss between $(3.9) million and $(3.0) million.
Full Year 2013
 
Revenue between $67.1 million and $67.5 million.
GAAP net loss of $(1.42) per share to $(1.37) per share, based on approximately 14.0 million weighted average shares outstanding.
Non-GAAP net loss of $(0.93) per share to $(0.89) per share, based on approximately 19.0 million weighted average shares outstanding.
Adjusted EBITDA loss between $(9.3) million and $(8.5) million.

Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net loss guidance exclude stock-based compensation expense of between $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 and between $2.2 million and $2.4 million for the full year 2013. The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate non-GAAP net loss per share for the full year 2013 gives effect to the conversion of pre-IPO preferred stock at the beginning of the period.

Key Operating Metrics
Core revenue excludes revenue attributable to the products from two small legacy acquisitions, both of which occurred prior to 2008, which we do not consider to be a core part of our strategic focus going forward.



Exhibit 99.1

Number of core customers includes all customers who subscribe to at least one of our solutions other than the non-core, legacy products.
Average revenue per core customer is total core revenue divided by the average monthly number of core customers during the period.
Subscription dollar retention rate is calculated for a particular period by establishing the cohort of core customers that had active contracts as of the end of the prior period. We then calculate our subscription dollar retention rate by taking the amount of fixed subscription revenue we recognized for the cohort in the period for which we are reporting the rate and dividing it by the fixed subscription revenue we recognized for the same cohort in the prior period. For this purpose, we do not include any non-core revenue, any variable subscription fees paid by our customers or any implementation fees.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: core revenue, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and adjusted EBITDA.
ChannelAdvisor believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors relating to ChannelAdvisor’s financial condition and results of operations. The company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, and for budgeting and planning purposes. The company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the company’s financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors, and that it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Management of the company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the company’s financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included with the financial tables at the end of this release. ChannelAdvisor urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company’s business. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly named non-GAAP measures differently than we do, which limits their usefulness in comparing our financial results with theirs.
